An old lady's life

Soon, the new year is over, and it will be New Year's Eve.

This year's New Year's Eve palace banquet was very grand, news had already spread that all the masters of Yirong Mansion except Wang's had followed into the palace to participate in the palace banquet.

Mrs. Wang was a little depressed, she was the only one left, although the palace banquet ended quite early.

Hongye, Mrs. Zhang, and Jia Lian sat on the side of the women's family. Jia Hu and Jia Zhu followed Jia She and Jia Zheng and sat on the side of the men. , curious about everything, and courageous, she had no choice but to hold him.

Hongye and the others followed the crowd into the hall, and after them were some relatives of the emperor.The ones closest to the front of the palace are of course the princes and concubines, and to the right of the princes and concubines are the concubines of the harem. Naturally, those sitting in the front are the high-ranking concubines, and some low-ranking concubines sit in the back.

The more special ones are Sujun Wangfu and Lijunwangfu. The two county kings are not the emperor's sons, but the emperor's grandsons. No one will forget what happened a year ago, but they all pretend to forget it.

The next most populous are King Xiangjun and Prince Gong. The concubines on both sides of the backyard are complete, and there are four or five children in each mansion.However, compared to Princess Gong, Princess Xiangjun looked haggard. On the contrary, although the side concubine next to her looked respectful, it was difficult to hide her high spirits.

Princess Zhaojun was sitting alone, and Hongye remembered that she was pregnant, and her face was much rounder.Sitting next to Princess Qinjun on her left was a little girl about one year old, and a beautiful woman sat quietly behind her.

Hong Ye's eyes fell on the opposite side, this is the important minister of the Dafeng Central Committee, several princes are quite favored, many people have already started toasting with wine glasses, and all of them have full smiles on their faces.

At the right time of You, Emperor Changping, Concubine Hui and other concubines arrived together. Emperor Changping took the most central position at the top, and four seats were placed in turn on the left side near the female relatives. They sat respectively Xianfei, Defei, Huifei, Concubine Zhen, this is the difference between this New Year's Eve palace banquet and the past. Since the queen passed away, no concubine is qualified to sit at the first palace banquet.

Hongye thought silently, what is the emperor thinking?Concubine Xian, Concubine De, and Concubine Hui correspond to King Xiangjun, King Gong and King Qin respectively, while Concubine Zhen's niece enters the backyard of King Xiangjun as a side concubine.Hongye glanced at Zhaojun Wang and Zhaojun Wangfei. These two seemed to be hidden in the crowd. Most of the imperial concubines were friends with concubines Xian and Concubine De. Concubine Hui also had friends. These three concubines met Many young and beautiful girls.

In the middle of the palace banquet, many people went out to get some fresh air. The palace was setting off fireworks at this time, and many young men and women went out to enjoy the beauty of the fireworks.

This meeting is almost equal to the time of free activities. More people hold wine glasses in the name of a toast to make friends, and tell Jia Hu to look after Jia Zhu. Jia She and Jia Zheng each hold wine glasses and teapots, and blend into the crowd. Their respective superiors and colleagues had a drink together, and finally Jia She took Jia Zheng to toast with several princes.

However, in order to make King Zhaojun different, Jia She put the order of King Zhaojun's toast at the end. Hong Ye saw it, and couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart. One move is enough for him to remember Jia Amnesty.

"My lord, let's do bigger business and earn more money in the coming year." Jia Amnesty held up his wine glass seriously, of course Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's wine glasses only contained tea, Jia Zheng's heart was about to drop when he heard that In a cold sweat.

"Chengrong Yanghou Jiyan." Zhaojun Wang twitched his mouth, touched Jia Amnesty with his own wine glass, and touched Jia Zheng again, and the two sides drank the contents of the glass in one gulp.

Jia She sat down directly next to King Zhaojun. The location of the palace banquet was not a seat, but sitting cross-legged, so it was very convenient for Jia She to sit on the floor.

After a long speech, Jia Zheng was a little speechless, how could the eldest brother speak so much, and it was still in front of King Zhaojun.

Brother, does this count as staring?Jia Zheng thought about it silently, but he found that King Zhaojun was not unhappy, and observed other people, and found that no one seemed to notice, so he was relieved.

Although Emperor Changping was busy communicating with some elders, he still saw everything that happened in the hall.The seventh son has always been reticent, but he was able to tolerate Jia She's talkativeness, which made Emperor Changping smile.His gaze moved down again, and his gaze became much deeper. Some people are really good at adapting to the wind.

In this way, it took about two quarters of an hour before the people who gathered together returned to their respective positions.

With the fireworks blooming in the sky, this year's New Year's Eve palace banquet ended. Hongye and Zhang met Jia She and Jia Zheng at the gate of the palace. The group sat in two carriages. Jia Zheng took his son to sit with Hongye. Jia Hu Jia Lian and his family of four have a carriage.

On the way back home, there was still snowflakes in the sky, and Hongye remembered that in modern times, she and Ai Cao usually vacationed in tropical places during the Chinese New Year.

"Grandma, I made a friend, can I invite him to our house to play in the future?" Jia Zhu said abruptly as the carriage moved forward slowly.

Hongye asked curiously, "Whose young master? How old is he? How did you know each other?"

There were quite a few children at the palace banquet. The adults had their circle, and the children had their circle. Although Jia Hu and Jia Zhu didn't dare to go out of the hall, they also met a few young masters from other mansions in the hall.

On this side, Jia Zhu is talking about the friends he knows. In the carriage behind, Jia Hu and Jia Lian are also talking about the friends they know. The people Jia Hu knows are about the same age as him, but the people Jia Lian knows are others. The little girl of the family, at his age, the distinction between men and women is not very clear, so he thinks the little girl is beautiful, and he wants to be good friends. The madam and the crown prince laughed together.

Back at the mansion, the belated reunion banquet had just begun. Jia She and Jia Zheng wanted to become vegetarians for Jia Daihua, so the two of them couldn’t touch the meat dishes on the banquet. Mrs. Zhang also became a vegetarian along with Jia She. Because Shi was pregnant, she did not forbid her to eat meat.

After the reunion banquet, it was already the time of the day, and the adults of Hongye each took out a red envelope to give their grandson lucky money.

"Daddy, set off the fireworks!"

Last year Jia Zhu didn't set off the fireworks, and he has always been worried about it, but this year he finally got his wish.

At this time, a flower bloomed in the east of the sky in the capital, and another flower bloomed in the west, as if it had been negotiated, one after another fireworks printed and dyed the entire sky of the capital.

"Hoho, beautiful! I put that flower!"

"I put this one up!"

In this way, until the midnight passed, the sky became quiet, and the three children were tired from playing, and their upper and lower eyelids could not be opened, so Hongye asked them to go back to rest.

It's so late, what age is Shou?There is no Spring Festival Gala again.

The next day is the first day of the 23rd year of Changping. This is a special day in Rongfu, it is the birthday of Jia She and Jia Zheng's father. Now that Jia Daishan has passed away, this can only be his birthday.

Because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year again, Jia She and Jia Zheng paid homage to their father's birthday and also worshiped their ancestors by the way.

And because it was Jia Yuanchun's birth in the Red Chamber, Hongye paid special attention to Wang's activities today, but after the busy morning and afternoon, there was still no sign of Wang's birth.

So, won't the eldest sister of Rongfu be born today?

At night, Mrs. Wang was still doing well. When the midnight came, Hongye thought, she would not be born at the last moment. Scanning with her spiritual sense, she found that the west courtyard was quiet in the snowstorm.

As soon as she arrived in the space, Ai Cao held her chin and looked at her with a smile, "Your eldest granddaughter wasn't born yet?"

Hongye nodded: "There is no movement today, but it should be just these few days."

Wang's health has always been very good, so the expected date of delivery is within a few days, and it will not be a few days later.

In this way, under the close attention of Hongye, the fifth day of the new year has passed, and the Wang family has not yet given birth.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, in the afternoon, someone from the Wang family eagerly knocked on the door of the Rong Mansion, and they brought bad news.

At noon, Wang's father, the prince, drank an extra glass of wine and didn't bring it up in one breath, so he just left.

Hongye's heart skipped a beat, it's over!Seeing Mrs. Wang squatting down with her stomach in her arms, the maidservant in the flower hall suddenly became flustered.

"Mother, I seem to be about to give birth." Wang Shi grabbed Hongye's hand, veins popped out of her hand, and her face began to contort, "My father has gone?"

Hongye hurriedly asked the two strong women to carry Mrs. Wang to the west courtyard. The delivery room in the west courtyard was already prepared, and the housekeeper hurriedly ordered someone to call the midwife.

"Don't talk yet, sir child."

It will be impossible to know the inside story of the prince's death. After the Wang family entered the delivery room, Hongye sent the mourner back to the Wang family. The Rong family already knew about it, but the world is not as big as giving birth to a child!

Jia Zheng came back half an hour later. He originally had an appointment with Yu Qiu, Zhou He and the others at Guiyuan Bookstore today.

At this time, his father-in-law passed away, and Wang's childbirth happened again. In this cold weather, Jia Zheng was so scared that he was sweating all over.

The Wang family is not in a hurry, the married woman of the Wang family will not be too late to go until the funeral hall of the Wang family is built.

This is Wang's second delivery, and the birth canal opened quickly, but no matter how smooth the delivery was, it would still take several hours. As people came and went in and out of the delivery room, it was evening in the blink of an eye.

Finally, when it was completely dark, there was finally a big commotion in the delivery room.

Jia Zheng took a deep breath, as if he couldn't hear any sound, until the next moment, a loud baby crying sounded.

"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the eldest lady, the second wife has added a baby girl." The midwife cleaned the bloody baby quickly, wrapped the baby in a soft red cotton jacket prepared in advance, and handed it to Hongye.

Mrs. Wang has already passed out now, Mrs. Zhang looked at Mrs. Wang, then moved to Hongye's side, and said with a smile, "Eldest sister will definitely be a beautiful woman in the future."

Hongye murmured in her heart, she was crumpled and glowing red, why couldn't she see that the child had the potential to grow into a beauty?

"Is Xiuqin okay?" Since Hongye came, she has gradually called Zhang and Wang's boudoir names, and is no longer the cold old family's, the second's, or the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, of course this is privately.

Mrs. Zhang shook her head: "Depending on the situation, the younger brother and sister fainted from exhaustion."

The midwife over there immediately replied: "Returning to the old lady, the second wife gave birth very smoothly this time, but she passed out, and she will be fine when she wakes up."

Hong Ye nodded, and then carried the child out of the delivery room with Mrs. Zhang. Seeing this, Jia Zheng leaned forward: "It's a daughter, it's okay, we don't have a daughter yet."

Jia Zheng had already asked the servant girl just now, and he knew that Mrs. Wang was fine, so he didn't need to ask again now.

After Jia Zheng had seen the child, Hongye put the child back to Wang's side, and they were ready to have dinner.

Jia Amnesty had already had dinner with the three children in the front hall, and seeing Hongye and Mrs. Zhang coming out together, she felt at ease knowing that the delivery was safe.

But Jia Zhu had already run back to the west courtyard, he couldn't wait to see his mother and sister.
